A bold son-in-law doting on his concubine and destroying his wife?The ashes are scattered!

Chapter 176
The frostbite ointment bought by the waiter in the shop was very useful. After putting it on, the hot and itchy feeling on the feet disappeared a lot.

Leng Lanzhi was overjoyed, and decided to give Xiao Er some silver rewards tomorrow.

At midnight, there is no moon in the sky, but the earth seems to be covered with a layer of pure white holy light, and the road ahead can be seen clearly without any lighting.

The wind whistled in his ears, but Leng Lanzhi couldn't feel the slightest bit of coldness.

A pair of strong arms held her firmly in his arms, isolating all the severe cold, and seemed to be able to insulate all dangers.

I don't know how long it has passed, the wind stopped, but Leng Lanzhi's heartbeat still returned to normal.

This was on the way she and Gu Zhan went to visit the sheriff's mansion at night.

She thought that Gu Zhan would arrange some kind of carriage, after all, she had already asked Zhang Yang to take her token to the Sheriff's Mansion, so Li Changlin must be waiting for her right now.

However, Gu Zhan said that Wu Shangshu lives in the Sheriff's Mansion now, and it would be too conspicuous to go directly through the main entrance, so it's better to go in quietly.

Leng Lanzhi never thought that the way he said to get in quietly was that he used lightness skills to bring her into the county guard's mansion!
It was the first time for Leng Lan to fly in the sky at such a big age. Although his feet landed on the ground now, his soul seemed to be still in the sky.

"Miss? Miss?"

Hearing a call, Leng Lanzhi's soul returned to his body, and he looked at the man in front of him blankly: "Gu...er, Ah Zhan?"

Gu Zhan's eyes under Weiwei's mask are full of concern: "Miss, how are you?"

"It's...well."

Leng Lan realized later that she was still half leaning in Gu Zhan's arms.

That person's embrace was warmer than in memory, and the scorching heat seemed to be able to burn people.

She blushed, and hurried out.

As the man retreated, the warmth in his arms suddenly disappeared, replaced by the cold wind that poured in, and Gu Zhan's heart seemed to become cold.

Leng Lanzhi looked around and found that it was very quiet here and there was no sign of Li Changlin. She wondered: "Where is this? Where is Li Changlin?"

Gu Zhan lowered his eyes, and when he raised them again, his eyes were filled with tranquility. He looked in one direction: "Master Li, are you still coming out to meet the princess?"

Leng Lanzhi followed his line of sight, and saw a figure suddenly swaying in the shadow not far away, and after a while, a thin man came out.

The man's speed was not fast, to be precise, he was very slow, with a kind of calm demeanor.

After a long time, he came to Leng Lanzhi, bowed and bowed: "Your official Li Changlin, I have seen the princess!"

Leng Lanzhi said indifferently: "Get flat."

Li Changlin got up, crying: "I heard that the princess was assassinated by the Oirat Assassins, her whereabouts are unknown, and she may even have fallen into the hands of the Oirat Assassins. I am very worried. Now that the princess is safe and sound, I am grateful to God... woo woo woo ..."

This person is exaggerating a bit too much.

Leng Lanzhi's eyebrows twitched slightly. It was hard to imagine that this twitching middle-aged man was actually the clever county magistrate who risked his life to deliver a message to him: "Are you really Li Changlin?"

Li Changlin covered his face and cried even more sadly: "Princess Hui, the next official is Li Changlin!"

"Over these years, although the official has only sent a letter of greeting to the princess every half a month, the official is always thinking about the princess in his heart."

Leng Lan raised his eyebrows: "Master Li, your memory is not very good."

Li Changlin paused while wiping his tears, and smiled embarrassedly: "Oh, I made a mistake in my memory, it's not half a month, it's a month! One letter a month!"

Leng Lanzhi: "..."

She thought her defense was enough, but she didn't expect Master Li to be even more defensive, so he used this method to test her.

"Master Li, do you still have doubts about my identity?" She smiled half-heartedly: "Would you like me to tell you the contents of your invitation letter? For example, you were dreaming in Wonderland and went to a village with only women. The ladies were warmly entertained and happy to miss Shu..."

"Cough cough!" Li Changlin coughed violently twice, and cried even louder: "It's hard for the princess to remember the experience of this insignificant official, Xiaguan, I'm so touched..."

The corners of Leng Lanzhi's brows twitched even more, and he felt his brain twitch: "Shut up!"

"Yes." Li Changlin immediately stopped crying.

If it weren't for the tears on his face, Leng Lanzhi would have almost doubted whether this man was howling just now.

"Princess, please."

The three of them entered a nearby room, where charcoal fire, tea and supper had already been prepared.

Leng Lanzhi didn't touch the tea and supper, and cut straight to the point: "When I entered the city, I saw someone openly selling high-priced grain and summer clothes at the gate of the city. What's going on?"

Li Changlin knelt down suddenly, and said with guilt on his face: "It's the lower officials who are not doing well, please punish the princess!"

Leng Lanzhi frowned: "Now accountability can solve the problem? I need to know the specific situation!"

Li Changlin said: "The situation in Tianhai City is very complicated. There are many problems left behind by the previous county guard. The time for the lower officials to take over the county is too short, and they haven't had time to deal with all the problems. It's because the lower officials have neglected their duties and failed. Princess' trust!"

The guilt on his face doesn't look like he's faking it.

Leng Lanzhi was very puzzled.

The previous sheriff has been chopped off, the bad debts have been cleared, and all the money that should be paid back to the people have been paid back, so what else can be wrong?
Li Changlin sighed: "When the previous county magistrate was in office, he not only corrupted the king's laws, increased taxes, and neglected human lives, but also colluded with local gentry and gangs, forming a very large network of relationships.

Although he was arrested, those relationships are still there.After losing the protection of the sheriff, those people wanted to take the line of Shangguan, but Xiaguan refused. "

Leng Lanzhi understood.

Although the sheriff is the biggest official in the city and the biggest emperor of the land except for her princess, if the sheriff itself is weak, it will be difficult to carry out various tasks.

Li Changlin is powerful, but not powerful.

However, she believes that as long as he is given more time, he will be able to subdue those forces that do not obey him.

But the natural disaster came too suddenly, and he had not yet repaired the dilapidated Tianhai City.

And after the squires and gangs below lost a huge protective umbrella, they were rejected by Li Changlin. It is understandable that they would disobey his orders when they became angry.

Can……

"No matter how courageous these people are, they still dare to fight against the imperial court?"

The measures to protect prices were carried out very smoothly in Shengjing, because merchants did not dare to disobey the orders of the imperial court.

Are all the merchants in Tianhai City so bold that they dare to openly disobey orders?

Li Changlin sighed, looking helpless.

Gu Zhan said: "Princess, those guys are old fritters, there are policies on them, and they have countermeasures."

such as……
